Not to downgrade the graphic talents of Floro Dery, but what does one artist from (more than) two decades ago add to the value of the nation in the here and now? Sure, I thought the Transformers were pretty cool back in the day - it's something people grow out of. And unless you mean "formative experience" in a sense wherein it inspired you to become a successful animator, or even better, teach the skills to new generations (if that is the case, then the following does not apply), I think you ought to be hitching your wagon to a higher star, at this age.Ben Kritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655896560712809421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19278017.post-59587647967427825512009-12-10T15:48:40.448+08:002009-12-10T15:48:40.448+08:00Yeah!
